西方思想史中的“物理时间”与超越时间的自我

The " Physical Time" and the Time-Transcending Self in Western Thoughts

从时间观念入手,是探讨自我问题的一个主要方面。西方思想史中的时间观念分为不同的流派,因而也产生了不同的自我观。从巴门尼德经柏拉图到亚里士多德,完成了物理时间观的奠基。沿着物理时间观探求自我问题的则是笛卡尔和黑格尔,二者都认为自我是超越时间的存在,并分别推导出了主体自我与绝对自我。

The view of time is an important field where the issue of self can be profoundly explored.In Western thoughts,the conception of time falls into different schools,representing different ideas of the self.Parmenides,Plato,and Aristotle laid down the foundations for the theory of physical time.Descartes and Hegel looked into the physical time and found a self that was time transcending and identified a subject self and then an absolute self respectively.
